Educators' Academy

At College Summit, we believe that if students are to aspire and achieve, their teachers and counselors must be equipped to utilize our tools and strategies proficiently. The Educators’ Academies, held each summer in all of College Summit’s regions, provide our partner educators with the information and materials they need to ensure that every student who can make it in college makes it to college.
The goal of the Educators’ Academies is powerful: Educators are prepared to build and sustain a strong college-going culture in their schools and to implement College Summit successfully. Educators participate in the Educators’ Academy right in their own community and work with their local colleagues to plan for successful delivery of College Summit’s dynamic model.


Training topics include:

  • An overview of the College Summit approach
  • Strategies for building and sustaining a robust college-going culture
  • The role of the College Summit Advisor and College Summit Coordinator
  • Use of the Navigator curriculum
  • How to engage Peer Leaders, and
  • How to utilize College Summit's new web-based technology tool to support students in the career and college exploration process.


Additional topics may be included based on specific educator needs.
